We had a lovely week’s stay at Puffins with our two dogs. The Garden was fantastic and completely enclosed. There was everything you could possibly need inside and out and it was spotless on arrival. The Bottle of Wine (which happened to be my favourite) milk and dog treats was a lovely touch on arrivalLots of handy information for local areas and farther afield.All in all we had a great stay and would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book again if staying at a Port Isaac again.Thank You

Our second visit to wee Puffins. A perfect base that met all of our needs. Owner very responsive to any communication. Garden is a perfect safe haven for the dogs. Easy walking distance to port Isaac and port gaverne, although there is a climb down and up as you would expect. Co op very nearby if you need anything but we did get a delivery.
